Golf Christmas

Published by Alpha Murgev at 1:00 am under Travel Photography

Christmas is a time of family, friends, eating, celebration, eating, relaxation, eating, Christmas lights, eating, Christmas Carols, and in some circles… golf.  This time of year is well renowned for upping the ‘kitsch’ factor, and apparently golf courses are not immune.

Recently visiting the Royal Pines Golf Resort at the Gold Coast, I caught site of something that you just don’t see everyday - a tinsel adored golf buggy.

I have to admit I’d just picked up my new Canon 5D and was looking for things to photograph.  This buggy seemed like a good subject.  Getting a good angle was a little difficult, as it was parked next to another non-decorated buggy.  Thanks to the wide angle lens of the L series 24mm-105mm I managed to get the whole buggy in the frame.  Now all I needed was a real Santa Claus…

I wonder what this would have looked like with lights all around it at night roaming around the golf course…  :-)

Merry Christmas and have a safe and happy holiday period!
